Bridesmaids

	Abbey Spittle Maid of Honor Abbey is Sarah’s younger sister and partner in crime.  She attends the University of Maryland, College Park, where she is majoring in public relations.  She also holds the world record for having the greatest amount of unworn clothing.  When they were young, Abbey told Sarah she couldn’t fall in love and get married until Abbey turned 21.  Abbey will be turning 21 on January 4, 2006.  Good timing!

	Pam Waters Bridesmaid Pam has been Sarah’s best friend since they were in diapers. They grew up across the street from one another, until they moved away to college.  They spent their childhood days playing games and hiding from their younger siblings.  As they grew older, they always tried to keep each other out of trouble.  Pam is currently an investigator and resides in Bowie with her new husband, Doug.

	Bridget King Bridesmaid Bridget and Sarah have been friends since they met in the 1st grade.  Growing up, Sarah and Bridget were inseparable.  Sarah’s parents automatically included Bridget in family activities, as though she was one of their own daughters.  Bridget is now a dental assistant and resides in White Marsh with her husband, Jason, and 2 year-old daughter, Belle.  They are looking forward to their new house to be built in Abingdon, Maryland.

	Lisa Bricker Bridesmaid Lisa and Sarah became friends during high school.  They continued on to attend Towson University together.  They commuted to and from College Park together, as their boyfriends (now husband and soon-to-be husband) were college roommates. They even survived countless hours of living in an officially declared “disaster zone,” a.k.a. Greg and Craig’s college apartment.  Lisa was recently married to Craig in September of 2005.

	Maria Battaglia Bridesmaid Maria and Sarah also began their friendship in high school.  They were “in” many of the same classes, although Maria convinced Sarah to cut many of them!  Maria even persuaded Sarah to come join her homeroom because it was “more fun” than the one Sarah was originally assigned.  After Greg and Sarah are married, Sarah and Maria will be relatives (3rd cousins-in-law to be exact!)

	MaryEllen Miller Bridesmaid MaryEllen and Sarah met sophomore year of college, in a class called medical microbiology.  You can tell just from the name, what that class was like!  They became friends almost immediately.  MaryEllen now works with Sarah on the same nursing unit, at Union Memorial Hospital.  They spend most of their working days scoping out eligible doctors for MaryEllen to marry, so that she no longer has to work!

	Haley Alexander Junior Bridesmaid Haley is Sarah’s cousin.  She is currently 8 years old and the only known “diva” under the age of 10.  We are all hoping that Haley can fit our wedding into her busy schedule!  She loves to play soccer and lacrosse.  Haley lives with her mom, dad, and brother in Belair, Maryland.

Groomsmen

	Craig Bricker Best Man Craig and Greg became friends in high school, where they were in the same classes and ran track together.  They continued on to attend the University of Maryland, College Park, and were roommates throughout their college years.  When they weren’t busy being “computer nerds” in one way or other, Craig and Greg spent countless hours in the College Park gym together (as if you couldn’t tell!)  Craig was recently married to Lisa and lives in a new townhouse in Rose-Marsh, Maryland.

	Matt Gilbert Groomsman Matt and Greg became friends freshman year of college, while pledging a business fraternity.  After college, they lived together in an apartment in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia.  Matt gave Greg a run for his money when it came to neatness and organization.  They even posted a rotating chore list on the refrigerator.  Matt and Greg have created a theory about life together, known as the “bucket theory.” They hope to someday publish a book about their theory, or figure out some other way to strike it rich.  Matt and his wife, Stephanie, reside in Silver Spring, Maryland.

	Mike Leichtman Groomsman Mike and Greg also met freshman year at the University of Maryland, College Park.  They became friends and now work together at the U.S. Postal Service Headquarters (when they aren’t busy working out in the gym or playing Ultimate Frisbee on the National Mall during lunchtime!)  Mike was definitely the insider when it came to Sarah’s engagement ring, as Mike and Greg discussed and researched their girlfriends’ rings almost daily.  In the next few years, you will be able to find Mike living his dream, competing in the World Series of Poker.

	Nikul Pandya Groomsman Nikul and Greg became friends as they suffered together through business classes in college and, of course, Tuesday nights at the Fe.  He also lived with Greg and Matt in the “world’s cleanest apartment.”  Nikul is very intelligent and can make anyone laugh. Nikul and Greg even made being stranded (without electricity or any running water) during Hurricane Isabelle a fun and story-filled experience.  Nikul recently began working for Booz Allen Hamilton in Northern Virginia.

	Chan Rhee Groomsman Chan and Greg became friends while working together at the Olive Garden many years ago.  Greg helped start Chan’s addiction to golf, teaching him many of the tricks of the trade.  They have now switched roles, and Greg can learn a few things from Chan out on the links.  Chan is a great friend and has always been there to help out in any way possible.  He is extremely intelligent and aspires to start his own business.  Chan currently lives in Owings Mills, Maryland.

	Kapil Pandit Groomsman Kapil and Greg met sophomore year in college and quickly became friends.  He was Greg’s little brother in their business fraternity.  Kapil is a very reliable friend that you can always count on.  Kapil wins the award for moving the most number of times during a 3 year period, even calling Eagan, Minnesota home for a winter!  He recently moved into a new condo in Bethesda, Maryland and will probably stay in the area for a while.
